| Summary: | A series of circulars and directives from the Chinese government were issued on 24 November 2019 by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). What is now known as the China cables affair relates to the establishment and operation of detention camps for Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang province in China. The institutionalization of these camps raises questions as to the legal characterization of such action by the Chinese government. Ethnic and religious cleansing and crimes against humanity are divisive terms and the international community is struggling to denounce them with one voice. International institutions such as the UN and the ICC remain – for the time being – in the background on this issue. |
